The last in my series of thought and reflection. I hope you enjoyed having a coffee with me. ☕
Espresso with Lorenzo Romano - Part 7 Leading with Stillness – Reflections on Courage, Clarity, and What’s Ahead. In the midst of global turbulence, it’s tempting to speed up. To react. To solve. But leadership, real leadership, often starts with stillness. Stillness is not inertia. Its presence. It’s what allows us to hear the signal in the noise. To see the long game when the short term feels overwhelming. To make decisions not out of fear, but from conviction. I’ve learned this the hard way. In moments of ambiguity, the instinct to do something, anything, can be strong. But more often, it’s the quiet pause, the careful listening, the courageous “let’s wait until we’re clear” that earns trust and unlocks wisdom. At GCX our people notice when we lead with intention. So do our clients. And over time, that becomes our culture. The world may not get simpler anytime soon. But we can choose how we respond. With clarity. With resolve. With decency. “Stillness is the key.” – Ryan Holiday This series began as a way to reflect out loud. Seven espressos later, I hope it’s sparked some pause, some perspective, and perhaps a few shared nods. Let’s continue leading, not by volume, but by values. Stay grounded, stay steady. Thanks Lorenzo. #GCX #EspressoWithLorenzo #DataMadeBetter
